An Illustrated Western Magazine,

No one at all interested in the scenery
or the natural resources of the western
portion of the United States, can fail to
be charmed by the last number of that
handsomely illustrated magazine, THE
WEST SHORE. II combines instruction
and entertainment in most agreeable
form. There are upwards of one hun
dred pages of most delightful descrip-
tive matter, fiction, poetry, essays, and
news Of progress made in the develop
ment of the resources and industry of
that vast reagon. Puget sound and the
Columbia river are illustrated and de-
scrlbed In a most thorough manner.

Golden Yuba,'' 'Blue Dirt an Bed

some of the titles which suggest the
varied and valuable character Gifts con-
tents. "Ashes Of Life" code to the
Columbia" and Gin Memory of the
Planeers," the latter illustration, are
poems worthy of more than a careless
reading. While preserving high
standard of literature merit, THE WEST

"Let home stand first before all other
things No matter how high your ambi-
ton may transcend its duties, no matter
how far your talents or your influence
may reach beyond its doors, before
everything else build up a true home !
Be not it's slave; but its minister Let
it not be enough that it is swept and
garnished, that its silver is brilliant,
that its food is delicious, but feed the
love in it, feed the truth in it, feed
thought and aspiration, feed all charity
and gentleness in it. Then from its
walls shall come forth the true woman
and true man, who shall together rule
and bless the land" Is this an over
wrought picture? We think not
What honor can be greater than to
found such home? What dignity
higher than to reign its undisputed
honored mistress? What is the ability
to speak from public platform to large,
intelligent audiences, or the wisdom
that may command seat on the judges
bench, compare to that which can insure
and preside over a true home, that
husband and children "rise and call her
blessed?" To the guiding star, the
ruling spirit to such position is higher
honor than to rule the empire.-[ Mrs.

taken with scrofula in the hip when
only two years old. We tried several
physicians, but the boy got no relief
from their treatment. Noticing your

so highly, bought some of it from you

Short speeches were then made by
Messrs, j. A. Gaynor, D. J. Cole, f. J..
Wood and G.. f. Witter.
The meeting was largely attended by
the ladies and they appeared to be in
terested in the selection of the officers.
1t will be noticed by the treasurer's re-
port that the balance on hand at this time
of year is larger than it has ever been,
due from the fact that the receipts from
State and county were larger than they
have ever been before.

THE coming fight the printers ofthe
country will be first to abolish the Gov
eminent printing office at Washington,
and next will come the struggle of the
paper and stationery interest, to pre-
vent the Government from selling stamp
ed envelopes, circulars, and postal
cards. All are innovations upon the
rights of the citizens in the enjoyment
of liberty and the pursuit of happiness,
necessary setting up the Government
as monopolist. to the injury of the sta
tionary and paper dealers of the count
ry. AS the fight is big one, the agita-
ton should be inaugurated through a
national movement, fanked on all sides
by State organization throughout the
country. The press is now mightier
than the sword, and we have that
powerful weapon of modern civilization
with u.s. Politicians will have to look
to this. The printers of the country, if
once Thoroughly aroused and organized,
are formidable power, sufficient to
make tyrants tremble, and eventuate in
wiping out all interference with the leg
itimate calling of citizens everywhere"

NEARLY two thousand local circles
of the G. L. S. c. pursue the course of
reading prescribed by that society dur
ing the past year. These circles rep
resent every State and Territory in the
United States with the possible excep-
ton of New Mexico and Alaska), as well
as Japan, South Africa, and the Hawa-
liam Island. a large number of the cir
eles have been reported the present
year, and the work is going forward
with great vigor. English History and
Literature, Astronomy and Geology,
form the main subjects of study for
1867. Detailed reports of the work
accomplished by these circles show how
their influence is being exerted in their
respected communities Many circles
have arranged for lectures upon the
subjects pursued during the year; while
others, not SO highly favored, are bring
ing to the work all the resources which
enthusiasm and ingenuity can command.
We hear of the systematic classification
of minerals, of geologic expeditions to
examine curious local formations, and
of correspondence with the Smithsonian
Institute for "more Light Signs of
activity everywhere among Chautau-
Quans.
